day is done

The day is done

My eyes are weary

I poured too much water into the glass

The table cloth could barely soak it all up

A little pool of water collected around the table leg

The day is done

My cat, now well fed

Rests on my foot

I think it likes the warmth of my shoe,

still lingering on my sock

The day is young 

My heart only started beating just now

I look out the window in my lonesome

And reflected how

Every heartbreak I ever went through was only portals for my heart to mend again

The day is young 

There is no one next me

At the air port, to announce my name

There's not a single familiar face

In the standing ovation at my awards ceremony

The day must still be young
